Solidworks 2015 Serial Number 472
Melva Simons
This can lead to conflicts as both the data card and the template are trying to generate the same serial number and may result in the serial not incrementing. To avoid this conflict, have any file or folder control set to Text, instead of Serial Number. This would only apply to variables that are being updated by the template variable and use a EPDM serial number.
In this article, you'll learn serial number management skills every SOLIDWORKS user and admin should have. We'll focus mostly on standalone serials, but address network serial numbers and how they differ from standalone. These are the topics we're going to discuss
A SOLIDWORKS serial number is a 24-character alphanumeric string. This string is what gives a computer permission to launch and use SOLIDWORKS. You should keep meticulous track of your serial numbers(s). I suggest creating an Excel spreadsheet to track the following information
A standalone serial number gives only one machine permission to SOLIDWORKS at a time. You can have SOLIDWORKS installed on as many machines as you'd like, but only one machine will have permission to launch and use SOLIDWORKS. If you need to switch machines, you will need to deactivate the machine and then activate another. (See Activating/Deactivating instructions)
SOLIDWORKS will not launch until a serial number is activated. "Activation" gives permission to a machine to open and run the software. Once activated, the serial number will determine what SOLIDWORKS products, tools, and add-ons will be available. Simply input serial numbers on their respective lines, and the portions of the software you are entitled will become available.
To activate, simply launch SOLIDWORKS. The Activation Wizard will appear and prompt for activation. Elect to activate Automatically over the internet. Click 'Next' through the prompts and you're activated! SOLIDWORKS can now be used on this machine.
To deactivate a machine, simply use the SOLIDWORKS Help Menu at the top of the window and select Licenses > Deactivate (Note: You must be able to launch SOLIDWORKS in order to deactivate.) The best way to deactivate a standalone serial number is from within SOLIDWORKS. If you cannot deactivate, contact GoEngineer Technical Support.
Clicking Deactivate will launch the Activation Wizard. The easiest method is to select the serial number you wish to deactivate and elect to deactivate it Automatically over the internet. The Activation Wizard will reach over the internet and change the status to deactivated. Your serial number is now ready to be activated elsewhere. If you need a video walkthrough, watch this video: SOLIDWORKS - Standalone License Deactivation and Activation.
A note from the tech support team: Tech support at GoEngineer cannot remotely deactivate a computer. The only action we can take is disable. Disabling a computer permanently disables its current configuration from ever using the serial number again and releases the activation. If the disabled computer needs to use SOLIDWORKS again, Windows or new hardware will need to be installed.
Funny thing is if I rename the Solidworks part file in the workspace to a different file name and then rename it back to the original file name. The drawing is then allowed to be created with the same part number as the part file.
If you also keep filename and number the same you can easy see the "number" in solidworks and also use it to show the number in the drawing - with solidworks function to show filename without extension.
Running this code will successfully add the files to the vault. However, every added file now has a different serial number for each configuration (including the "@" and "default" configurations). When I create a new file directly in the vault, it's set up to have every configuration automatically share one serial number. Why is it different in this scenario? Any way to have these added files mimic regular ones and share one serial number across all configurations?
Unfortunately i cannot comment due to reputation, but i would suggest checking that the data card setup is not folder specific and is being used for the newly created folder you are placing the files in.
What is my SOLIDWORKS serial number? Which SOLIDWORKS version and service pack am I currently running? You may have asked yourself these questions or needed to know the answer in order to receive technical support or run an upgrade.
There are different ways to find your serial number, but in this blog, we will see one method.
Start SOLIDWORKS, Select Help Menu and pick About SOLIDWORKS as shown in the below image.
Before you can access the SolidWorks Customer Portal to look at their knowledge base or to participate in the forums, you will need to register for a SolidWorks account using the serial number that you used to install SolidWorks.
